Valentines Day

What a difference a year makes! 

This is our second Valentines day with our girl and we decided to make a homemade meal and stay in this year. Charlotte and I stayed home all day to make cards for the family and cook since our meal was going to take 3-4 hours.

Ever since seeing the movie Julia & Julia, years ago, I have been wanting to make beef bourguignon and valentines seemed like the perfect opportunity! We checked out her cook book at the local library so we could have the exact recipe and went shopping for all our ingredients.

Charlotte playing with the music set from nina and poppy!

Daddy is good to us! Flowers and lots of goodies!

Nina came by for a visit!

This is how I was able to do most of my cooking. :) 

Dinner is served.... it was delicious!

Little Charlotte "eating" her meal.... aka smearing it everywhere and playing with her fork.

Play time with Daddy!

After our meal we had dessert, Charlotte opened her gift from us, and then Kyle and I watched our favorite show on Netflix while Charlotte slept. We had such a fun evening at home eating on our beautiful pink china by candlelight. :)

Paleo cake like brownies, Jenis milkiest chocolate in the world ice cream, and strawberries. 

Opening your gift! New bath toys, a book, big girl bib, and outfit! (And I didn't have to pay for one thing... used your birthday gift card!)
